More than different opinions. More than contrasting stands. It comes much closer to conflicting stands and this is what is worrying. So it stands that the demand that a mechanism be put in place to regulate the inflow of non-local people into the soil of Manipur has met with different stands that border more on conflicting stands and this is best exemplified by the fact that the mortal remains of the nine people killed at Churachandpur in the protest after the three Bills were passed by the State Assembly on August 31 last year are still lying in state.

Boycotting the visit of a political leader is acceptable. However bombing the visit of the particular leader cannot be accepted at all. Seen along this line, the boycott call issued by the Tangkhul Naga Long on the visit of the Chief Minister and some of his men to Ukhrul to inaugurate some projects is acceptable and can be seen within the tenets of democracy where people can lodge protest against the policy and programme of a Government. But not the violence that erupted and was seen all over Ukhrul town when the Chief Minister actually did pay the visit on October 24.

From an armed group waging a bush war against the Indian security forces to now engaged in a political dialogue with New Delhi, the NSCN (IM) has certainly come a long way and to many, especially to many Naga people, the outfit is today more of a political entity pursuing a political goal on behalf of the Nagas.

The issues are many. And central to almost all the issues is the ties between the hill and valley people. So from the demand to enforce an Act to regulate the entry of non-local people into the State to the demand that the Meiteis/Meeteis be included in the Scheduled Tribe list of the Constitution of India to the stand off at Manipur University over the reservation for ST students in admission, all these have something to do with the relationship between the hill and valley people.

Present State of Manipur. South Nagalim. Separate administration for the hills and valley. Not clear on the finer details of the Framework Agreement but more than obvious that the demand for a Nagalim or a Greater Nagaland is still very much alive and kicking and this is a point which has been trumpeted on more than one occasion by numerous Naga civil society organisations. It is in line with this that the first conference of the Naga Village Authority of South Nagalim has been convened on October 19 at Tagaramphung village near Senapati district headquarters.
